- Monarch of Ireland, for 38 years. Soon after his father's death, the Danes returning into Ireland in great swarms and becoming very formidalbe, this king quelled them in many battles and encounters; in his time also the king of Munster with a great army invaded Leinster and did much mischief until the Monarch came to aid Cearbhaill, son of Muirgan, king of Leinster, and in a great battle fought at Magh-nally, Cormac the holy and famous king and bishop of Munster, with seven petty kings of the south of Ireland, was slain and their army totally routed and destroyed in the pursuit. This battle was fought, A.D. 905, and in the year 914, Flann died a natural death at Tailten and was succeeded in the kingdom of Meath by his younger brother, Longaonarus, who reigned three years.
